Bill Canady explains how rising interest rates are compressing company valuations by up to 30%. His Profitable Growth Accelerator system helps businesses protect margins and pricing. A $250M distributor added 3.1% EBITDA in one quarter by cutting low-margin accounts.
High interest rates have made borrowing, equipment, and operations more expensive. But in the deal market, they push valuations down. A business that once sold for 10 times EBITDA might now only attract a 7x. That's a 30% drop in value. Millions left on the table. If you're not actively defending your margins, tightening pricing, and simplifying operations, your company risks being valued below its true potential. That's why we built the Profitable Growth Accelerator, or PGA, a proven 100-day system to help leaders protect EBITDA and show resilience in volatile times. Here are a few examples of past client outcomes. These results are exceptional. Your results may be different. First, a $250 million distributor eliminated low-margin accounts and added 3.1% EBITDA in one quarter. A manufacturer reset pricing in its core SKUs, lifting margin by 200 basis points. A service company simplified contracts and later improved its exit multiple. Rates may be unpredictable now, but your business performance doesn't have to be. With PGA, you can build a kind of company that buyers pay a premium for. Book your strategy session today.
